Plutonium was the second transuranium element of the actinide series to be discovered.. The isotope 238Pu was produced in 1940 by Seaborg, McMillan, Kennedy, and Wahl by deuteron bombardment of uranium in the 60-inch cyclotron at Berkeley, California. Plutonium also exists in trace quantities in naturally occurring uranium ores. It is formed in much the same manner as neptunium, by irradiation of natural uranium with the neutrons which are present. By far of greatest importance is the isotope Pu239, with a half-life of 24,100 years, produced in extensive quantities in nuclear reactors from natural uranium: 238U --> 239U --> 239Np --> 239Pu.
Plutonium-238 is available from the A.E.C. at a cost of about $700/g (80 to 89% enriched.)

Yeah you can't buy it.Plus, it is way,way too radioactive to handle without special equipment and shielding.I would try a google search but I'm afraid guys in dark suits would pay me a visit.

plutonium is illegal to own unless you are working with the government or in a big lab (university at least)

Start saving your money for cancer treatment if you want to handle radio active metals.
